A typical golf course requires 100,000 to 1,000,000 gallons (378.5 m3 to 3,785 m3) of water per week in summer to maintain healthy vegetation. Improving the water efficiency usually requires proper scheduling of the irrigation and improving irrigation uniformity.ll these issues can lead to excessive water use, especially where the golf course is located in regions with arid climates. Turf requires an average of 25 to 60 inches (63.5 cm to 152.4 cm) of water annually, depending on climate, to maintain a healthy appearance.
The director of golf-course maintenance at Spanish Trail is John Pollok, who came to Las Vegas in 2008 from a golf course in Los Angeles. In L.A., Pollok's annual water bill was $250,000; at Spanish Trail, it's six times as high. We do about 36,000 rounds of golf a year, he told me over lunch in the clubhouse this past spring. If you calculate that out, it means that every golfer who heads down our first fairway represents $42 in water costs.. That's a huge nut, and it forces the club to track every gallon.
